Karen I am so jealous of you right now!!! Redding is my hometown, and I haven’t been back since 2001. Redding always has a way of calling you back, and I really miss the spectacular change of season up there. I now live in San Diego, and while I love it & the beaches here, I will always be a Redding girl at heart. Have you guys gone to Whiskeytown or Burney Falls yet?? If not, then you MUST!! Burney Falls is beautiful this time of year, as is any of the local lakes & River. *sigh* I’m fighting off homesickness now!!!
